Build NVIDIA JetBot and train collision avoidance

Wheeled, Easy, $150

JetBot is NVIDIA's open-source AI robot on Jetson Nano, under $150 on top of the Nano, programmed from your browser with Jupyter notebooks.

Cost $150: JetBot README, parts excluding Jetson Nano.

Tutorials go from basic motion to collecting 'free vs blocked' images and training a collision-avoidance CNN, then road following.

Hardware & cost: Jetson Nano plus less than $150 in parts per the README; SparkFun and Waveshare sell kits.

Difficulty: Easy.

Agent install prompt (paste into Claude Code, Cursor or Codex): "Follow https://jetbot.org from https://github.com/NVIDIA-AI-IOT/jetbot to set up the JetBot image, then run the collision-avoidance notebooks."
